Description

In this 1964 Newbery Award winner, 14-year-old Dave has the usual problems — luckily, he has an adopted stray named Cat to help him through the bumps and bruises. Recounted with humor, a remarkably realistic teenage voice, and Emil Weiss's pitch perfect illustrations, Dave's story unfolds amid the excitement and dangers of 1960s New York City. "Superb. The best junior novel I've ever read about big-city life." — The New York Times.

Thanks to Netgalley for the preview.

"My father is always talking about how a dog can be very educational for a boy. This is one reason I got a cat"
With this opening words the book starts. I'm sorry that this book has never been translated into Italian. I really enjoy reading it, it's undisturbed by the passage of time, like all good stories for kids.

Con questo incipit si apre il libro. Mi dispiace che questo libro non sia mai stato tradotto in italiano. veramente una piacevole lettura che non risente del passare del tempo, come tutte le buone storie per ragazzi.
